CONTAINER FOR POLISHING WHEEL COMPOSITION Filed Nov. 22, 1937 PatentedJuly 5, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CONTAINER FOR POLISHING WHEELCOMPOSITION Application November 22, 1937, Serial No. 175,757

2 Claims.

This invention relates to a composition container and the method ofproducing the same, the composition being generally a carrying body suchas grease or the like, intermixed and carried in which is an abrasive,usually in finely divided form. This composition is applied to bufiingand polishing wheels by bringing a stick of such composition against thesurface of the wheel and applying it thereto while the wheel rotates.

In previous methods the composition which is put up in stick form wasfilled into a. relatively short length of paper tubing, one end portionof the paper tubing having previously been provided with a partitionacross the same so that the tube when filled with the composition wasfilled from said partition to the other end of the tube. This requiredthat in every case the tube which was to contain the composition shouldbe cut to the specified length, have the partition placed across it ashort distance from one end thereof, and then fill each tubeindividually with the composition.

It is an object and purpose of the present method to greatly facilitatethe manufacture and production of the articles which consist of atubular holder filled with the desired composition and which tubularholder at one end will have an extension of short length beyond the bodyof the composition and with a partition across and against which thecomposition contacts at one side, whereby the article can be handledwithout smearing the composition over the fingers of the operator andwherein the entire composition may be used up without waste.

An understanding of my invention may be had from the followingdescription, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, inwhich,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of thepolishing or buffing composition to a polishing or butting wheel, thecomposition holder and container of my invention being used.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an elongated paper tube which with themethod herein is filled with the composition, and then cut transverselyacross into sections, each completely filled with the polishing orbufiing composition.

Fig. 3 is an elevation of one of said sections.

Fig. 4 is an elevation, with one end portion in section, showing thetubular handle extension which is secured permanently to said end of thefilled tube, and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of said extension.

Like reference characters refer to like parts in the different figuresof the drawing.

With my method an elongated tube I usually of paper is filled for itsentire length with the polishing or bufiing composition indicated at 2.The tube thus filled is sawed or otherwise cut transversely at spacedapart intervals making a plurality of tubular sections 3 each completelyfilled from one end to the other with the composition.

An extension which serves as a handle by means of which the operator mayhandle the composition and apply it to the bufilng wheel is provided,consisting of a short tubular member 4 within which a shallow cup havinga bottom 5 and vertical sides 6 is inserted at one end and permanentlysecured as by gluing, both the member 4 and the cup preferably being ofpaper stock. The bottom of the cup 5 forms a partition across thetubular handle section 4. One end of the composition filled tube 3 isthen inserted within the sides 6 of the cup and the parts glued orotherwise securely fastened together. This provides 'a composition stickin which the extension at 4 is recessed inwardly from its outer end tothe bottom 5 of the cup, permitting easy handling of the stick andprotecting the hands of the operator against the composition. And at thesame time when the composition is to be applied to a bufiing orpolishing wheel such as 'l in Fig. 1 it may be applied until the wholecomposition has been used up.

The ability to fill an elongated tube, saw it across into sections ofthe desired length and, if wanted, of different lengths, and then attachthe handle sections 4 thereto greatly decreases the cost of manufactureof articles of this type and character. The filling of a singleelongated tube open from one end to the other is much more easilyperformed than the filling of several short tubes adjacent one end ofeach of which a cross partition has been secured. Moreover, the handlesection 4 may be of greater strength than the Walls or tube in which thecomposition is placed. The article produced is superior to that whichhas been produced by the old method.

The invention is defined in the appended claims and is to be consideredcomprehensive of all forms of structure coming within their scope.

I claim:

1. The combination with a tubular container filled with a dressingcomposition for buffing or polishing wheels, of a tubular handle memberrigidly secured to said container, a transverse partition extendingacross said handle member spaced a substantial distance from each endthereof, one end of said container being in contact with said partition.

2. The combination with a tubular container of paper material filledwith a composition for bufiing or polishing wheels, of a tubular handlemember of shorter length and greater diameter than said containerrigidly telescoped thereon and secured thereto, a transverse partitionextendingacross said handle member spaced a substantial distance fromeach end thereof, one end of said container being inserted into thehandle member until stopped by said partition.
